I'm not entirely sure a printk is the useful response here either ? > +static ssize_t smo8800_misc_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, > + size_t count, loff_t *pos) > +{ > + struct smo8800_device *smo8800 = container_of(file->private_data, > + struct smo8800_device, miscdev); > + > + DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(wait, current); > + u32 data; > + unsigned char byte_data; > + ssize_t retval = 1; > + > + if (count < 1) > + return -EINVAL; How can this occur ?? > + > + add_wait_queue(&smo8800->misc_wait, &wait); > + while (true) { > + set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); > + data = atomic_xchg(&smo8800->count, 0); > + if (data) > + break; > + > + if (file->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK) { > + retval = -EAGAIN; > + goto out; > + } > + > + if (signal_pending(current)) { > + retval = -ERESTARTSYS; > + goto out; > + } > + > + schedule(); > + } wait_event_interruptible ? > + if (copy_to_user(buf, &byte_data, sizeof(byte_data))) > + retval = -EFAULT; put_user > +static int smo8800_add(struct acpi_device *device) > +{ > + int err; > + struct smo8800_device *smo8800; > + > + if (!device) > + return -EINVAL; How can this occur ?? > + atomic_set(&smo8800->count, 0); Not needed - you can't see a count until it is open > + dev_info(&device->dev, "device /dev/freefall registered with IRQ %d\n", > + smo8800->irq); dev_dbg would be more appropriate.
